韓國 說話의 홀어미 話素에 나타나는 原型的 象徵과 그 變移 樣相 考察

Abstract

This study investigated the archetypical symbols connected to widow mother images in which appears in the folk tales. And it identified how the images of the single mother are reproduced based on the strategies and aspects of the relevant discourse. The prototype of the widow mother figure can be found to Magohalmi, the great earth mother. Magohalmi's maternal shows a love of indicated through the biological activity of species preservation, along with vigorous fertility and great creativity. This image of pure motherhood as a deideological essence of the pure widow mothers is subsequently transformed into a goddess who actively embrace patriarchal ideology. In particular, the widow mother, of <Onui Himnaegi>, illustrates this mutation process well. The Yuhwa also obeys the patriarchy by connecting paternal lineage to maternal, and realizes the motherhood ideology of a patriarchy, thus showing the process of which maternal ideology becoming entrenched in discourse. In subsequently produced legends and folk tales, the single voluntary productivity of a Widow is reduced a proactiveness form and sacrificed by the coercive paternal authority to reproduce the heir to the family. Also, the previous archetypical benevolent motherhood is transformed into a strict Fatherhood instead by the patriarch. The widow mother thus had to suppresses and renounces her nature to order to restore the power of her heir, to inherit her husband’s lineage. This process demonstrates the inherent irony of motherhood reproducing another maternal ideology.
